3/08: What a stupid title Live Free or Die Hard is.

Why couldn't they name it Die Hard 4 for the sake of simplicity? One reviewer described it as old-school. I don't think he understood what the adjective meant.

The fourth film of any franchise is usually the signal of a death knell, and that's what happened here. All physics laws known to man are broken. I've traveled through West Virginia, Maryland, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Camden, New Jersey, many times, but what I saw in the film doesn't resemble them.

Also, it should be an hour shorter. When something happens, I'll ask the five important questions: why, how, who, what, and are-you-shitting-me. I don't see Bruce Willis as John McClane but rather a parody of himself.

All in all, it's not necessary to sacrifice millions of brain cells to watch Live Free or Die Hard.
